The rapid expansion of cloud computing, AI, and 5G is pushing data centres to their limits. The challenge? Managing increasing workloads while maintaining efficiency, scalability, and sustainability. Open Compute Project (OCP) standards offer a cutting-edge approach, revolutionising how IT infrastructure is designed and deployed.
OCP: A Smarter, More Sustainable Approach
OCP’s open standards are redefining data centre efficiency, moving beyond traditional infrastructure models to create IT environments that maximise performance and minimise waste. By adopting OCP-compliant architecture, data centres benefit from:
● Optimised Rack Utilisation – The 21” OCP rack provides better packing density and airflow, ensuring high-efficiency operations.
● Energy Savings – Transitioning from 12V to 48V DC power reduces energy loss while delivering up to 36 kW per rack.
● Scalability & Speed – Pre-engineered designs enable rapid deployment, ensuring IT infrastructure keeps pace with demand.
